Online Giving\/Tithing<\/h3>\t\t\t

Offering is a privilege and responsibility for members. Our encouragement is for each member to prayerfully seek God’s guidance for how they ought to be giving in this season. All offering goes towards funding ministries locally and globally.<\/p>\n

We encourage the congregation to apply for a personal offering number to allow efficient and accurate recording of offering information.<\/span><\/p>\n
